It looks like Walmart next month will be adding RFID’s to all of their Jeans and Underwear as a trial to help with their inventory.
Now, I do not necessarily think that Walmart has anything neferious motives here other than improving their inventory process but the side effects can be significant. First these RFID’s can not be turned off so others can use them after they leave the store. It also gets us use to the idea of giving up the right of privacy in what you buy and where you are located.
Very interesting article and something to be aware of, I am sure most people will have no idea that this is happening and therefore unable to take appropriate actions, to remove the RFID’s.
